A week ago, a woman named Reba told the cops her daughter, Cynthia, went missing. That same night, the police quickly put together a special task force to search for her.
The case was tough to crack because the headless female body they found had no clues, and the head was missing. So, it stayed unsolved.
After Reba''s report, the team connected the dots and went to Cynthia''s ce. They took hair samples and did a DNA test on the headless body, confirming it was Cynthia. They also found her diary. The diary detailed the horrors Antolin had put her through, including forcing her to work at the Harrison Group for his sick purposes. Reba fainted on the spot.
The task force sealed off the Harrison family vi. In the basement, they found Cynthia''s head, which was preserved like a specimen.
Zoe had no clue about any of this and was terrified.
She thought, ''Was the white figure I saw outside my window Cynthia''s spirit?''
With sufficient physical evidence in hand, the courtroom promptly convened for a second trial. ording to the criminalws of Pliar County, intentional murder shall be punished with the death penalty, life imprisonment, or fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years; in cases of severe circumstances, the death penalty shall be imposed and carried out immediately at Greafury City''s highest-security prison, with execution to follow within a month. Topwyer Ben from Central City took the case, and the final verdict was reached.
When L heard the news, she was leading a group, including Charley, to the security office to get the internal test papers from the Central City Education Association. These papers were the best summary of SAT knowledge points. One set of these was worth more than dozens of other practice papers.
But these papers were only for the top four academies in Central City. They were super confidential, and other schools couldn''t get them, no matter what.
L, at the back, saw Ben''s court verdict and smiled. She had sent Antolin to prison and would make sure he never got out. But letting him die would be too easy. "L, what''s all this stuff?" Charley asked.
L put away her phone, looked over, and said, "You''ll see when we get back. You guys carry these to the ssroom."
In the office, Alvin was grading papers. Seeing the message from his subordinate, he smiled and typed back: [Get ready; I want to handle him personally.] Back in the ssroom, Eleanor called the students to distribute the papers. They were shocked by what they saw.
"Internal test papers from the Central City Education Association and key points for each subject."
"Aren''t these only for the top four academies in Central City? This can''t be fake, right?"
"It doesn''t look fake. Look at these materials and the organized forms; they seem legit."
Charley, who didn''t care much, wasn''t surprised. But Eleanor was stunned and looked at L. "L, do you know someone from the Education Association?"
That was the highest-level educational institution in Pr country, especially Thomas Rodriguez, who''s been in the education system since the beginning. Even the big families in Central City wanted to befriend him.
